I didn't think I'd make it into Gabon after my time in Yaounde at their terrible embassy, but after getting a visa with ease at the border (as seen in the last episode) I'm here. The truth is, this country has such brilliant potential. The scenery is unbelievable, there is money here in the oil and timber industry, and there is wildlife as well.
However, despite a couple fun days in Gabon with a Dutch couple I met on the road, I quickly grew to despise Gabon. The people here were the least friendly I met in all of Africa, they seemed to resent me being in their country. Moreover, well at the pride and joy of Gabon tourism, Lope National Park, we learned how unprofessional they can still be when it comes to business.
Gabon, thus far has been so insanely frustrating but mostly due to the fact that it has so much potential, but the people don't seem to care even the slightest about the tourists that come here hoping to explore.
There are many places I'd rather see develop a tourism in West and Central Africa. And it annoys me to no end that the one country in the region that has the money, stability, and the natural blessings is completely neglecting it.
Anyways, rant over. After this episode I roll on towards the town of Franceville as I have to catch the train since there is no fuel left in the town of Lope. Stay tuned.

This wonderful video of a leopard and her two cubs was taken in the Batéké Plateau National Park, Gabon. Yet another example of how reintroducing an umbrella species such as gorillas can protect other megafauna such as leopards.
The Aspinall Foundation has been working with several organisations to monitor and protect wildlife in this area (MPI-ANPN-PANTHERA) as well as reintroducing captive and wild born gorillas. This video was taken by a camera trap set by Ivonne Kienast (Project Manager for the Pan-AF program, MPI-EVA).

Since its independence from France in 1960, Gabon has had three presidents. In the early 1990s, Gabon introduced a multi-party system and a new democratic constitution that allowed for a more transparent electoral process and reformed many governmental institutions. Gabon was also a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2010–2011 term.

Low population density, abundant petroleum, and foreign private investment have helped make Gabon one of the most prosperous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the 4th highest HDI and the third highest GDP per capita (PPP) (after Equatorial Guinea and Botswana) in the region. GDP grew by more than 6% per year from 2010 to 2012. However, because of inequality in income distribution, a significant proportion of the population remains poor.

While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first "public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people", Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a "national park" in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. The first area to use "national park" in its creation legislation was the US's Mackinac Island, in 1875. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result, Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.

Wildlife

Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that much wildlife is affected by human activities.

Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. Some animals, however, have adapted to suburban environments. This includes such animals as domesticated cats, dogs, mice, and gerbils.Some religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment.

By-catch continues to threaten Gabonese wildlife

One of the objectives in Sea Shepherd's campaigns to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is to mitigate by-catch, to prevent non-target and endangered species like sharks, turtles, and whales from being killed in fishing nets. In Operation Albacore we're assisting the Gabonese authorities in boarding and inspecting fishing vessels, to enforce Gabonese law and protect the country's rich biodiversity.

One of the objectives in Sea Shepherd's campaigns to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is to mitigate by-catch, to prevent non-target and endangered species like sharks, turtles, and whales from being killed in fishing nets. In Operation Albacore we're assisting the Gabonese authorities in boarding and inspecting fishing vessels, to enforce Gabonese law and protect the country's rich biodiversity.

Driving through the Republic of Congo

After finally receiving my scooter in Franceville, Gabon I made the trip towards the Congo. But again, it wasn't without any lack of drama. I had two flat tires before I even made it to the border. I was planning on hitting the sand road of the Congo by about 8am, but with the flats, and the fact I was in the middle of nowhere, I didn't hit the sand until about 1030.
The sand road in the Congo was absolutely grueling. There were so many times driving the road towards Oyo that I just about quit and set up at the side of the road to sleep for the night. Following the sand day I crashed at the house of a Lebanese expat for the night and pushed on to Brazzaville.
Two days later, and I arrive at the outskirts of Brazzaville, Congo. But my visa expires today, so what will I do? Stay tuned....

The Lost Coast of Gabon - Sea Kayaking West Africa

Accompanied by photographer Peter McBride and two Gabonese eco-guides, we made an exhausting and exhilarating circumnavigation of Gabon's jewel of a national park, Loango. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and stretching 40 miles into the jungled interior, we kayaked and portaged more than 200 miles around the park's perimeter, seeing this wild country from a new and different perspective. Along the way we encountered river-swimming elephants, manatees, tarpon, surfing hippos, gorillas and more. By trip's end it was hard to decide which were the most beautiful, and the most difficult, parts of the expedition, but it was eye opening, for us all.

Gabon: People in the Forest (Long version)

United Nations, New York, 27 December2011 - For most of us, owning a passport or identity card is something we take for granted. But many people around the world have never been recognized as citizens of their own country. We travel to the rain-forest of Gabon in West Africa to meet such a group -- the pygmies. And with us is one man determined to help them on their route to recognition.
21st Century - Show 59 - Gabon: People in the ForestScript (pdf): http://www.un.org/webcast/pdfs/21century59.pdf

GabonTravel - Gabon is a country in WesternCentral Africa. It lies on the Equator, on the Atlantic Ocean coast, between the Republic of the Congo to the south and east, Equatorial Guinea to the northwest and Cameroon to the north.
A small population, as well as oil and mineral reserves have helped Gabon become one of Africas wealthier countries. The country has generally been able to maintain and conserve its pristine rain forest and rich biodiversity.
The earliest inhabitants of the area were Pygmy peoples. They were largely replaced and absorbed by Bantu tribes as they migrated.
In the15th century, the first Europeans arrived. The nations present name originates from Gabão, Portuguese for cloak, which is roughly the shape of the estuary of the Komo River close to the capital of Libreville. French explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza led his first mission to the Gabon-Congo area in 1875. He founded the town of Franceville, and was later colonial governor. Several Bantu groups lived in the area that is now Gabon when France officially occupied it in 1885.
In 1910, Gabon became one of the four territories of French Equatorial Africa, a federation that survived until 1959. These territories became independent on 17 August 1960.
Since independence, Gabon has been one of the more stable African countries. Autocratic PresidentOmar Bongo was in power from 1967 until his death in 2009. Gabon introduced a multi-party system and a new constitution in the early 1990s that allowed for a more transparent electoral process and for reforms of governmental institutions. A small population, abundant natural resources, and considerable foreign support have helped make Gabon one of the more prosperous sub-Saharan African countries. Despite being made up of more than 40 ethnic groups, Gabon has escaped the strife afflicting other West African states.
Enjoy Your Gabon Travel!

I didn't think I'd make it into Gabon after my time in Yaounde at their terrible embassy, but after getting a visa with ease at the border (as seen in the last episode) I'm here. The truth is, this country has such brilliant potential. The scenery is unbelievable, there is money here in the oil and timber industry, and there is wildlife as well.
However, despite a couple fun days in Gabon with a Dutch couple I met on the road, I quickly grew to despise Gabon. The people here were the least friendly I met in all of Africa, they seemed to resent me being in their country. Moreover, well at the pride and joy of Gabon tourism, Lope National Park, we learned how unprofessional they can still be when it comes to business.
Gabon, thus far has been so insanely frustrating but mostly due to the fact that it has so much potential, but the people don't seem to care even the slightest about the tourists that come here hoping to explore.
There are many places I'd rather see develop a tourism in West and Central Africa. And it annoys me to no end that the one country in the region that has the money, stability, and the natural blessings is completely neglecting it.
Anyways, rant over. After this episode I roll on towards the town of Franceville as I have to catch the train since there is no fuel left in the town of Lope. Stay tuned.

There is still a place on earth where chimps lope through jungle shadows within earshot of the pounding surf, where without moving your feet you can see sea turtles, whales, crocodiles, chameleons and elephants, primal forest, shimmering mangroves, manicured savannahs, palm-studded salt marsh, endless lagoons and white beaches!

The Exo Terra expedition team returned safely from this piece of primal Africa in search an unknown herpetofauna. On a single evening, the team was able to find all three occurring species of crocodile. In Ivindo a new species of gecko was discovered.

Dzanga Bai - Central African Republic HD

Dzanga Bai is the best place in the world to study forest elephants. They are here 24 hours a day, with each elephant spending hours to days in these peaceful surroundings. The forest elephant is smaller than its savannah cousin, rarely reaching more than 8 feet in height. Its ivory is denser, fetching a higher price and attracting poachers. It is estimated that 10% of the population of perhaps 150,000 forest elephants are killed each year in the Congo Basin.
The Ba'Aka pygmies are among the oldest inhabitants of the Congo Basin, living mostly as hunters and gatherers. Although there is some trading with their Bantu neighbors, they owe their total existence to the natural resources which nature has endowed on their habitat: the rain forest.

[ENG]
The Mursi are an ethnic group in the south east of Ethiopia --within the Mago national park area. They are of an animist tradition and still live primitively. Boncaulo is a Mursi who occasionally goes to the market in Jinka --a town two days walk away through forests. Some of his fellow village inhabitants take advantage of his trips, making orders that he carefully jots down on paper. Boncaulo learned to read and write years ago and is one of the few Mursi who can. His trips have become a great help to his neighbours.

Among the high peaks of Papua New Guinea, upholstered in thick jungles, ethnicities inhabit the lands that inspired all that terrible sailors' stories at the begining of XX Century. They are the head-cutters, warlike cannibal clans that keep colorful rituals and lifestyles attached to nature.
We will meet the inhabitants of the Highlands and colorful body painting, participate in rituals "sing-sing" of the Asaro people, where mud men try to keep out enemies with its terrifying aspect, we will find the "enga mummies" of Kukukuku, bodies of warriors who were smoked for preserving them.
On the Sepik river, we finally find the exuberant nature of the region and the men who worship the crocodile, their flagship specie from which they seek the possession of their spirit through frenzied rites and painful scars tattoos they do in their bodies as an imitation of this great reptile skin.

Gabon and Lobe National Park

I didn't think I'd make it into Gabon after my time in Yaounde at their terrible embassy, but after getting a visa with ease at the border (as seen in the last episode) I'm here. The truth is, this country has such brilliant potential. The scenery is unbelievable, there is money here in the oil and timber industry, and there is wildlife as well.
However, despite a couple fun days in Gabon with a Dutch couple I met on the road, I quickly grew to despise Gabon. The people here were the least friendly I met in all of Africa, they seemed to resent me being in their country. Moreover, well at the pride and joy of Gabon tourism, Lope National Park, we learned how unprofessional they can still be when it comes to business.
Gabon, thus far has been so insanely frustrating but mostly due to the fact that it has so much potential, but the people don't seem to care even the slightest about the tourists that come here hoping to explore.
There are many places I'd rather see develop a tourism in West and Central Africa. And it annoys me to no end that the one country in the region that has the money, stability, and the natural blessings is completely neglecting it.
Anyways, rant over. After this episode I roll on towards the town of Franceville as I have to catch the train since there is no fuel left in the town of Lope. Stay tuned.

Leopard and cubs caught on camera trap in Gabon

This wonderful video of a leopard and her two cubs was taken in the Batéké Plateau National Park, Gabon. Yet another example of how reintroducing an umbrella species such as gorillas can protect other megafauna such as leopards.
The Aspinall Foundation has been working with several organisations to monitor and protect wildlife in this area (MPI-ANPN-PANTHERA) as well as reintroducing captive and wild born gorillas. This video was taken by a camera trap set by Ivonne Kienast (Project Manager for the Pan-AF program, MPI-EVA).

Gabon Travel Video

GabonTravel - Gabon is a country in WesternCentral Africa. It lies on the Equator, on the Atlantic Ocean coast, between the Republic of the Congo to the south and east, Equatorial Guinea to the northwest and Cameroon to the north.
A small population, as well as oil and mineral reserves have helped Gabon become one of Africas wealthier countries. The country has generally been able to maintain and conserve its pristine rain forest and rich biodiversity.
The earliest inhabitants of the area were Pygmy peoples. They were largely replaced and absorbed by Bantu tribes as they migrated.
In the15th century, the first Europeans arrived. The nations present name originates from Gabão, Portuguese for cloak, which is roughly the shape of the estuary of the Komo River close to the capital of Libreville. French explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza led his first mission to the Gabon-Congo area in 1875. He founded the town of Franceville, and was later colonial governor. Several Bantu groups lived in the area that is now Gabon when France officially occupied it in 1885.
In 1910, Gabon became one of the four territories of French Equatorial Africa, a federation that survived until 1959. These territories became independent on 17 August 1960.
Since independence, Gabon has been one of the more stable African countries. Autocratic PresidentOmar Bongo was in power from 1967 until his death in 2009. Gabon introduced a multi-party system and a new constitution in the early 1990s that allowed for a more transparent electoral process and for reforms of governmental institutions. A small population, abundant natural resources, and considerable foreign support have helped make Gabon one of the more prosperous sub-Saharan African countries. Despite being made up of more than 40 ethnic groups, Gabon has escaped the strife afflicting other West African states.
Enjoy Your Gabon Travel!

Driving through the Republic of Congo

After finally receiving my scooter in Franceville, Gabon I made the trip towards the Congo. But again, it wasn't without any lack of drama. I had two flat tires before I even made it to the border. I was planning on hitting the sand road of the Congo by about 8am, but with the flats, and the fact I was in the middle of nowhere, I didn't hit the sand until about 1030.
The sand road in the Congo was absolutely grueling. There were so many times driving the road towards Oyo that I just about quit and set up at the side of the road to sleep for the night. Following the sand day I crashed at the house of a Lebanese expat for the night and pushed on to Brazzaville.
Two days later, and I arrive at the outskirts of Brazzaville, Congo. But my visa expires today, so what will I do? Stay tuned.

The Lost Coast of Gabon - Sea Kayaking West Africa

Accompanied by photographer Peter McBride and two Gabonese eco-guides, we made an exhausting and exhilarating circumnavigation of Gabon's jewel of a national park, Loango. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and stretching 40 miles into the jungled interior, we kayaked and portaged more than 200 miles around the park's perimeter, seeing this wild country from a new and different perspective. Along the way we encountered river-swimming elephants, manatees, tarpon, surfing hippos, gorillas and more. By trip's end it was hard to decide which were the most beautiful, and the most difficult, parts of the expedition, but it was eye opening, for us all.

Gabon: People in the Forest (Long version)

United Nations, New York, 27 December2011 - For most of us, owning a passport or identity card is something we take for granted. But many people around the world have never been recognized as citizens of their own country. We travel to the rain-forest of Gabon in West Africa to meet such a group -- the pygmies. And with us is one man determined to help them on their route to recognition.

There is still a place on earth where chimps lope through jungle shadows within earshot of the pounding surf, where without moving your feet you can see sea turtles, whales, crocodiles, chameleons and elephants, primal forest, shimmering mangroves, manicured savannahs, palm-studded salt marsh, endless lagoons and white beaches! Gabon emanates the mood of equatorial Africa in its wild state, frozen in time, the only remaining example how tropical Africa once was...
The Exo Terra expedition team returned safely from this piece of primal Africa in search an unknown herpetofauna. On a single evening, the team was able to find all three occurring species of crocodile. In Ivindo a new species of gecko was discovered.

Dzanga Bai - Central African Republic HD

Dzanga Bai is the best place in the world to study forest elephants. They are here 24 hours a day, with each elephant spending hours to days in these peaceful surroundings. The forest elephant is smaller than its savannah cousin, rarely reaching more than 8 feet in height. Its ivory is denser, fetching a higher price and attracting poachers. It is estimated that 10% of the population of perhaps 150,000 forest elephants are killed each year in the Congo Basin.
The Ba'Aka pygmies are among the oldest inhabitants of the Congo Basin, living mostly as hunters and gatherers. Although there is some trading with their Bantu neighbors, they owe their total existence to the natural resources which nature has endowed on their habitat: the rain forest.
Due to their remote habitat, recent studies estimate that more than 100,000 lowland gorillas exist in the wild, as compared to only 750 mountain gorillas. This is the species most often found in zoos.

Among the high peaks of Papua New Guinea, upholstered in thick jungles, ethnicities inhabit the lands that inspired all that terrible sailors' stories at the begining of XX Century. They are the head-cutters, warlike cannibal clans that keep colorful rituals and lifestyles attached to nature.
